Yeah, Grunt I’ve been interviewing quite a bit. I’ve got one offer that is not quite to my liking and a few other leads; but my primary interest is in a NYC area company that I’ve interviewed with 3 times now. I’m currently in the ‘twisting in the breeze’ portion of the negations wherein I wait to hear if they will be making an offer.

Oh, and Viv, I would be hiring an assistant.

G'luck Grunt, what's the job in if you don't mind saying?

With any luck I will be able to divest myself of the fetid, stench-ridden slag heap that is London, for the gay, fetid, stench-ridden slag heap that is Brighton beach.

There, that's better

If Gruntboy doesn't have a position open, I'm looking for an assistant. I think McBane is, too.

I think we're all looking for assistants when it comes to red heads.
btw Viv, the commute is easy, the pay exorbitant, and there are monthly bonuses awarded as cases of merlot.

The commute point is good!


Break: I will finish this later, my grandmother is ill. *hug*

Good look Grunty!!

I will have less reason to be so startled when I hear a Geordie accent in the street!

Hey Grunter, good luck mate, I hope it all goes well.

Update: It seems the company I spoke of is working on an offer, though I have been warned the initial compensation will be lower than my expectations. C'est la vie... I'm still anxious to see it.

Viv: Hope all is well with your grandmother.

GB: Good luck, mate.

Good luck to you as well Waverly.

@ Viv, I reiterate Wav's statement.

@Wav - good luck to you too!

@ Viv *hug* I hope she is ok soon

Cood luck to you too Waverly *hug*

Good luck to Grunt and Waverly

It was a long time ago I did a job interview, I started working part time at the lab I still work at when I was still a student. When I was doing my internship to get the licence to practise, it was obvious that I should do it at the university hospital connected to the medical university my lab belongs to, so I didn't even do an interview, I just began working.

Good Luck et al with everything ever.

@Viv, Hope gran get's better.

Is it a better job than the one you have now? Is it a good career move? Do you think that you will be happier in that job than in the one you have? Will you be able to wake up in the morning and look forward to going to work?

At some point, a job you enjoy and one that is friendly towards your lifestyle is much better than all the money in the world. My uncle used to be the executive vice-president for a major company and made millions of dollars per year. However, he missed most of his kids growing up and spent a lot of time away from his wife. While the money was nice, and enabled him to send all of his children to Ivy League schools and take his vacations in the Bahamas, that doesn't make up for all of the baseball games and dance recitals he had to miss because of his work.

And you know what else? When it comes down to it, his debt-to-income ratio was about what mine is; sure I drive a used Toyota and live in a small split-level house, and he's got a new Lexus and a new house on 50 acres up in Maine, but when he made more money, he spent more money, too. And I have yet to miss one of the kids soccer or basketball games.

They better give you the job Grunty.

Or you may need to send over some of your SYM thugs to make them reconsider...

Been watching Godfather today

Good luck to you both Grunt and Waverly.
Viv, hope your granny is better.

Thanks again all.

@Waverly, Good luck pal - drive a hard bargain!

@Tamerlane - LOL!

I didn't get the job. B*gger.

So no horse head in your bosses bed sheets then. Think about it at least...

@ Viv and Waverly

Excuse my lack of manners. Should read more then the first post before posting myself.

Hope you get your job Waverly and Vivien. Hope everything turns out fine

HLD: For all practical purposes my previous job ends May 1, although I technically I haven’t done a damn thing in it since Feb. I’m pretty sure the new job would take up a bit more of my time than the previous job, but the the potential will be greater.

. . . or if you were Vivien.

*AT the mention of dropping her pants, Viv begins to think these nice men offering to hire her as an assistant are NOT thinking in the terms of a 'legal' job...*



Waverly: *hug* I would work for you but we both know you'd use me as a guinea pig for your many experiments.





As to my grandmother....well they removed the cancer from her lungs but she is having a bad reaction to the medication. *hug*

It's legal in Nevada . . .

If they got the cancer, she's halfway there. I'm sure she'll come through fine.
